The Practical Protection Podcast

By: Kathryn Knowles
  • Summary

  • When you set out to get things like life insurance, critical illness cover or income protection, many people do not think that they are going to hit any snags along the way. But! Insurance is a world of risk and there are times that a persons circumstances will make insurers sit back and have an extra think about offering the insurance. Why?! This podcast is designed to answer that why. Kathryn Knowles is joined by guests to bring a clear and open chat about how insurance works. Kathryn brings her experience as a "quirky" life and the voice of the consumer to the discussion. She does this alongside her work as a specialist adviser, who is known for insuring the uninsurable.

    Hi Everyone!

    This is our podcast teaser, 'pilot', episode. We are so excited to be sharing this with you and giving you a taster of what our podcast is going to be about.

    You will quickly discover that Kathryn and Andrew are talking about serious topics, but not in a harrowing way. You will hear random bursts of giggles, random cut aways to side thoughts, but mainly a desire to help the protection industry evolve.

    We hope you like this taster and we shall see you for our official launch, at the beginning of February.

    Bye for now

  • Epilepsy and Insurance
    Feb 6 2020

    Hi Everyone,

    This is our first official, proper, hopefully fantabulous, brand spanking new episode. Can you tell we are a bit excited?

    In this episode we are focusing on epilepsy and what you need to know, if you have this condition and want insurance.

    Our 3 key takeaways,

    1. There are approximately 60 different types of epileptic seizures

    2. Epilepsy is not often a huge red flag for insurers

    3. Two case study clients living with epilepsy, you might think are uninsurable

    Don't worry, we know insurance is boring and Kathryn and Andrew have done well to avoid the jargon!

    There is also a teaser at the end where you get to decide in this episodes 'Truth or Lie' if it is Kathryn or Andrew that is a liar. But! You have to tune in for episode 2 to hear the answer, see what we've done there, enticing you back, we're so smooth.

  • Rare Diseases and Insurance
    Feb 20 2020

    Hi Everyone,

    We are absolutely blown away by the downloads and feedback that the podcast is getting. Thank you to everyone that has left us a review and personally reached out to us to give us your thoughts.

    In this episode we are focusing on rare diseases (or conditions as Kathryn prefers, she doesn't like being thought of as diseased!) and what you need to know, if you have this condition and want insurance.

    Our 3 key takeaways,

    1. 1 in every 20 people in the UK has a rare disease

    2. Insurers trust that GP reports are accurate, but there are times that they are wrong

    3. A case study of sickle cell anaemia

    Andrew has expertly stayed away from technical jargon, but please forgive Kathryn for going off on a smidgen of medical info, this is a subject she is very passionate about!

    There is another teaser at the end in our 'Truth or Lie' feature and you need to decide again if it is Kathryn or Andrew that is a liar. But! Like last time you have to tune in to episode 3 to hear the answer.
